Atermiter X99 Turbo

The Atermiter X99 Turbo motherboard is very similar to the ZX-99EV3, but only if you don't look too closely. The disk subsystem has also changed, and the number of SATA III ports has decreased, Mini PCI-e has been removed, and the number of memory channels has changed, now there are two. On the plus side, you can manage memory frequency and timings out of the box. Overall, this is a stripped-down version of the ZX-99EV3, and accordingly, the price is lower than its predecessor. A kind of budget compromise.
